Description I bought a tube of prussian blue watercolor and I just wanted to play with it (instead of working on homework). I made a couple of pages of fun, but this was my favorite. It was pretty much filled with my Reya story stuff, so I decided to fill the rest of the page with more characters from that story.

I need a proper watercolor sketchbook to keep with kind of stuff in (the one I have has pretty wimpy paper and not suitable for watercolors at all )

Enjoy!

The world would explode from insanity and awesomeness if you did watercolors. You should really try them out! They're hard, but there is such a great feeling about the being very loose and free, while getting a painting done fairly quickly.

LOLOLOL!

Hmmm... Exploding the world. Tempting.

I've tried them out a few times but I think I really really lack that awesome technique you sport. I mean they've finally stopped looking like mud but the detail... I LACK THAT AWESOME DETAIL. -points-

I think I'll try two watercolors today just to see if I've gotten less failtastic at them. @_@

It's really a medium that you have to use several times before you get the hang of it. I'm easily impressed by people who can use it we within a few tries.

I'm sure you'll do fine.

True true. Nothing comes without effort! I just feel so lost when it comes to painting. It's so complex. But I guess I better get over it if I want to be my full potential~!

Thanks~ I think I'll spam you with my attempts and demand crit kthnx. <3

These all turned out very well! I love the one in the top right corner! pissed guy with what looks like a bomber jacket. It would be cool to see a comic page done in watercolor : D very good practice piece I must say.

I would love to do at least one comic page in watercolors... I've seen a couple instances where it looked absolutely amazing!

Reya LUVE!

But what is this? Evil looking people and other entities from her past that I do not know of?

I demand an explanation NOW...Or better yet, a story.

Also, a.) Reya looks great in blue b.) Reya in the middle and the bottom looks very beautiful. I love her in the natural.

dkirbyj In reply to Mylares [2009-02-28 01:17:01 +0000 UTC]



Yes, I drew the main bad guys in there (although one of them is missing on this page... and I guess you can't say that one or two of them are "main" badguy...I dunno).

I'll try to get a one shot story done before the end of the year, so look forward to that.

And I agree... Reya does look good in blue (mostly because that's the color I usually associate her with) and I like her with her hair down.

I still have trouble drawing Reya in expressions like in the middle... mostly because of one detail that could be overlooked in that image.

Mylares In reply to dkirbyj [2009-02-28 04:33:20 +0000 UTC]

WOOOO! I'll be looking forward to it then.

I don't know though, the bad guys seem very interesting. Be forewarned, I may develop more character obsessioins. Don't worry though, Reya's still my #1.

Agreed. There's something that just clicks with her and that color. You know, I could imagine her, in an alternate life, being some sort of jazz singer (or pianist).

Hmm....I still like it, small detail and all!

You'll probably be waiting for a while.

I have interesting things planned for my villains, but I don't know who I'll centralize in my one shot. I'm glad you like Reya. That makes me feel better about making her the main character.

(It's funny you mentioned "jazz singer." In one of my sticky note sketches, I drew my main characters with an added 30 years on them, and Roger kinda looks like he would be an old jazz player or something)

Thank you!

I wouldn't say "equally" though.

I meant your style look consistent in different mediums But yeah, I can imagine some are harder than others.
